By now, most of the country has witnessed the highlight from the first televised game, an Oregon loss. At the conclusion of the game, Oregon tailback LeGarrette Blount punches Boise State linebacker Byron Hout with a closed fist, knocking him to the ground. Not the way first year coach Chip Kelly wanted to start his season, or his coaching career at Oregon. So how did the Coach Kelly, Athletic Director Mike Bellotti and the University of Oregon handle it?

On our way to Hood River on Monday we stopped off at Multnomah Falls. Usually I would pose up on that bridge (you can see it toward the bottom of the photo, to the right of the falls), but this time we just stopped by for a quick look. Walking to the falls, we encountered a male Coho salmon lounging in a shallow part of the creek (no picture; he blended in too well with the pebbles on the bottom), waiting for the females to start arriving to spawn.

Most recently, in Oregon the legislature rapidly passed a bill called Pay It Forward (HB 3472) that aims to “provide access for all Oregonians to a debt-free degree and protect funding for public higher education. While proponents in Oregon suggest that the $9 billion needed to start the program could be raised through state bonds, they require voter approval and of course also must be repaid. Take the University of Oregon, for example.

Those states are Louisiana, Washington, Utah, and Oregon. In four states, those graduating from ABA-accredited law firms got very lucky because of COVID-19. The Supreme Courts in those four approved the Diploma Privilege. That means that the law school graduates do not have to take the bar exam - ever. Instead, if they fulfill all the other requirements of their state bar association, they can be licensed without passing the bar exam. And that's that.
